Q:I have a tire where the sides are cracked though the treat is near perfect. It‘s on a car we only drive on occasion.

When I bought my 2012 Nissan Versa in February 2015, it had 4 new tires on it. I punctured one on Saturday. Is there any reason to contact the dealer for a tire warranty ?

Q:How does the idle car tire be placed and maintained?

Tires should be stored in a dry warehouse, to avoid sun and rain, not too much ventilation. Large-scale tire warehouse should be equipped with a thermometer and hygrometer, the temperature should be controlled at -10 ~ +30 ℃, relative humidity of 50% to 80% is appropriate. Tires should be placed away from heat sources, power generation equipment and where ozone can be generated to prevent tires from accelerating. Tires can not be with flammable materials and oil, acid, alkali and other chemicals together. Avoid sunshine, moisture, high temperatures and chemicals.

Q:i have a 99 v6 mustang. i really need tires but i dont have that much money. so where can i get tires for a good price before the snow comes

Sam, There are plenty of good quality budget priced tires available for your 1999 Mustang. Is your pony equipped with the 205/65-15, 225/55-16 or 245/45-17 tire size? It will make a difference on tire availability. Let's say you have the base model with 205/65-15 sized tires. You best options within this size would be the Hankook Optimo H727, Firestone Precision Touring, Bridgestone Turanza Serenity or the BFGoodrich Advantage T/A. All well under $100 a tire.

Q:Which kind these 2 tires last longer? I not know much about tires except that summer tires have more grip. And how long should they be changed(miles plz)?

Summer tires give you tons of grip when it's hot. In the winter, you have very little traction. Start driving on snow/ice with summer tires, and you'll have 0 traction. Regular tires (all season) are made to give you the best performance year round, whether it be in hot temps or in snow/ice. Depending on the driving style, tires need to be changed between 20 and 60 thousand miles. There is no set mileage when tires need to be changed.

Q:I am having trouble understanding what exactly balancing a tire does. If i were to take my tire off to change my brakes would it then need to be rebalanced. thx

no you don,t have to have the tires balanced again just by taking them off and putting them back on. even if you rotate your tires you don,t have to have them balanced again. the only time you need to have them balanced is if you lose a weight or have a tire broke down or when your buying a new tire you have to have them balanced. balancing tires is so the tires will roll evenly.

Q:Anyone have any info on Dextero tires from Walmart? Are they any good? Any or all info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Walmart sells name brand tires that are easy to research online. Their economy brand is called Douglas and is made by Goodyear. In regards to the answer about Walmart tires sitting around for years, that is really silly when considering the volume that Walmart moves. When looking at a tire look for the DOT number. The last four numbers tell you when the tire was made. The first two numbers are the week and the second are the year. If you look in their on hand inventory you will likely never see a tire that is a year old. Believe some guy on the internet or go look.

Q:I have a 1998 Mitsubishi Galant with Michelin Energy Plus 190/60R/15. Max tire pressure is 44psi. Currently all tires are about 30psi which i think is kind of low. What should i set the tire pressure too? Thanks.

Tire pressure is based on manufacturer's recommendation which in your case should be found in the door or glove compartment. This is regardless of the tire. The reason is tire pressure is based on the weight of the car. Too much or too little will wear, tear or pop the tire faster.

Q:For example say i take a 255/40/19 tire Vs. 255/35/19 tire would the first tire weigh more ?another example if we take two of the same cars one sitting on 235/40/19 Front/Rear and the 2nd car 255/40/19 Front/Rear will one car weigh less simply because of tires ?

Tire weight does not only depend on size, but also the the specific model and tire manufacturer. Difference in tire weight is so slim that it would not make a difference for an automobiles performance. To answer your question specifically, yes, different tire sizes could cause a difference in overall body weight of a vehicle, but it is so minute that it should never come in to effect a ride or performance issue. Most importantly, it is always best to place the intended tire size on your automobile. The automaker of your vehicle went to great lengths to engineer and design a specific sized wheel and tire for it's best ride and performance. Stay original equipment sized rims and tires if you wish it to drive the way the automaker intended.

Q:A three-wheeled vehicle travels 100 km. Two spare tires are available. Each of the five tires is used for the same distance during the trip. For how many kilometers is each tired used?

My guess is that since the vehicle goes 100 km and there are three tires on the vehicle at a time, the tires will go a combined distance of 300 km. Since you have a total of 5 tires to alternate, each tire will go a distance of 60 km.
